Martial Artist: Stronger by Coasting Along

Chapter 17: Brand-New Coast Along


After Teacher Yan finished explaining, he started guiding the three of them in cultivation, teaching them how to awaken their Dharma Aspect and consolidate the Power of Dharma.

The cultivation method was quite simple: combining the Body Tempering Technique with the Breathing Technique, using one's perception to gradually get a response from the skin.

Ling Feng had already awakened his Dharma Aspect, possessing the Power of the Surface, so Teacher Yan took the lead, continually stimulating the surface using the Body Tempering Technique and Breathing Technique until the Power of the Surface was fully released.

Ling Feng understood Teacher Yan's good intentions, but if he followed the steps exactly, it would backfire and prevent him from gaining any Coasting Along Value.

So during the proper cultivation process, Ling Feng would stop to rest whenever the Body Tempering Technique and Breathing Technique reached a critical point, ensuring he didn't take it too seriously and didn't cause pressure for Chen Duling and Teacher Yan.

As a result, Teacher Yan tried to persuade him many times, but Ling Feng remained unchanged, causing Teacher Yan to gradually lose patience.

Anyway, compared to Ling Feng not reporting to the Dharma Hall at all, slacking off during training was nothing.

As long as Ling Feng could remember the key pointers of the cultivation, train diligently later, with his Demon Level talent, he was sure to surpass Ye Chen and Chen Duling.

After the cultivation session ended.

Teacher Yan privately said to Ling Feng, "Ling Feng, I don't care about your cultivation talent, or how you view my classes, or what you want to do after you leave the Dharma Hall. I don't care, not at all. Even if you sleep in the Dharma Hall, I won't mind, but I only ask one thing from you: come to my classes with Ye Chen and the others every day at this fixed time until the next semester starts, okay?"

Teacher Yan had given up.

Forcing Ling Feng to cultivate seriously was simply impossible in the short term.

The best he could do was try to keep Ling Feng in the Dharma Hall daily to make sure Ling Feng wouldn't skip his session and cause Teacher Yan to get penalized by the Seven Great Star Systems Alliance, or miss out on earning points.

"Okay, of course, as long as Teacher Yan keeps his promises, I can definitely do that."

Ling Feng's eyes sparkled.

He just saw that by refusing effective cultivation in Teacher Yan's Dharma Hall, his Coasting Along Value increased by more than thirty points in just two hours.

It turned out he earned more Coasting Along Value than by flat-out refusing to go to the Dharma Hall to cultivate.

He was initially worried that if he continued like this in the future, Teacher Yan might flip out or kick him out of the Dharma Hall, but didn't expect Teacher Yan to be so considerate of him.

"If the teacher can do it, I hope you can too."

Teacher Yan was very disappointed, but Ling Feng didn't care and was far happier getting new cultivation knowledge from himself.

It's really baffling why the heavens would give Demon Level cultivation talent to Ling Feng and not to Ye Chen or Chen Duling and others.

"Teacher Yan, actually... my situation is quite special. Training too seriously would backfire; can you believe me?"

Ling Feng felt Teacher Yan's silhouette was quite lonely, so he couldn't help but give a reminder.

"I believe you, take care of yourself."

Teacher Yan laughed.

Clearly, even if told the truth, Teacher Yan couldn't believe it, and neither could others.

"Sigh."

Ling Feng could only accept it helplessly.

"Even if you don't need to like it, at least don't let everyone know, that would only make those who care about you feel heartbroken. Regardless of your remarkable talent and repeatedly stunning them with your strength, when you waste time, they'll be upset for you."

Chen Duling hadn't gone far.

Having overheard the conversation between Teacher Yan and Ling Feng, recalling Ling Feng's cultivation attitude, she couldn't help but come over and say this.

And then she walked away directly.

Because it really was quite frustrating that Ling Feng didn't need much cultivation to leave her far behind, which was undeniably infuriating.

"You're right."

Ling Feng was struck by lightning, and couldn't help but respond.

Chen Duling looked back at Ling Feng, hesitated to speak, then ran forward, worrying as she ran, "Just saying a few words to him, he might really change his cultivation attitude! Then wouldn't the gap between us grow even wider? No, I have to hurry back and train."

"She's right, if you want to slack off, don't make it so everyone knows."

Ling Feng suddenly understood.

This time he realized that letting Yang Liru, Wang Dashan, Hong Lixin, and others who hoped for him to get better know he was obsessed with gaming and neglected cultivation, was a torture for them. They are good people and shouldn't be treated that way.

The same goes for Teacher Yan.

After all, to coast along, only the stats need to meet the requirements, it doesn't matter if others know or not.

Ling Feng also noticed that his Coasting Along Value gradually decreased as he became overly reliant on gaming.

Every time he wanted to increase his score, he had to spend more resources, like money or the number of streamers, so to keep getting Coasting Along Value, he'd have to find new ways.

Playing games every day could bring unexpected gains with persistence, but if it's the only way to achieve coasting along, it could not only hurt those who care about him but also affect his Coasting Along Value acquisition.

Once he realized this, Ling Feng's thoughts quickly became active.

As someone who lived in a world full of resources in his previous life, Ling Feng knew that in this world, certain behaviors would be considered unproductive and a waste of life.
